Quotes 

• Garcia Flynn : The day I've had. Someone needs to figure out how to put more seats into this damn Lifeboat.

  Jiya : We're working on it.

  Garcia Flynn : Well, work faster, 'cause next time, it won't be me who's left behind.

  Denise Christopher : Did you take care of the sleeper?

  Garcia Flynn : [with a sarcastic salute]  Yes, ma'am. All three of them.

• Jiya : Wait, where's Flynn?

  Wyatt Logan : We had to split up.

  Denise Christopher : You left him there?

  Wyatt Logan : We're gonna go back and pick him up. After we deal with our, uh, situation.

• Lucy Preston : [learning JFK escaped from the bunker]  Oh, my god. If we don't put JFK back where he belongs, he doesn't become president, no JFK, no Peace Corps, no Civil Rights Act...

  Jiya : No immigration reform.

  Lucy Preston : But there is nuclear war with Cuba.

• Jiya : Hey. You're awake. Fever dropped. That's a good sign.

  Lucy Preston : Wyatt?

  Jiya : He's on a mission.

  Lucy Preston : He went without me?

  Jiya : You were stabbed with a knife full of 17th century germs and running a fever of 105, remember?

  Lucy Preston : [Jiya tends to her wound]  Ow. I don't care. He shouldn't have gone without me.

  Jiya : Flynn's pinch hitting. I'm sure he and Wyatt have everything under control.

  Lucy Preston : [sarcastic]  Sure. What could go wrong?

• Jiya : You don't ever wonder if there's something bigger out there?

  Rufus Carlin : What, like extraterrestrials?

  Jiya : No, there's definitely extraterrestrials. I mean... a higher power.

  Rufus Carlin : Okay, where's this coming from? Is this about your visions?

  Jiya : Okay, look, I know it sounds crazy, but I feel like I'm having them for a reason.

  Rufus Carlin : Look, they're side effects of-of-of time travel, okay? There's no such thing as a higher power.

  Jiya : Okay, then how do you explain my heart murmur being cured? Or the fact that all my visions have come true?

  Rufus Carlin : All side effects, okay? If everything happens for a reason, then what's the reason for JFK getting shot by some crazy dude with three names?

  Jiya : I don't know.

  Rufus Carlin : Look... when I was a kid, my mom used to thank God for every good thing that happened. And when something bad happened, she's say "Everything happens for a reason", or "God has a plan." I watched my mom get on her knees and pray every night, begging God to take us out of our crappy neighborhood. But you know who did? Me. God doesn't exist.

• Rufus Carlin : Seven million people in the Bay Area, and we're supposed to find one horny teenage boy?

  Jiya : It's gonna be fine. We'll find him.

  Connor Mason : You sound quite sure of that.

  Jiya : Well, think about it. We all still know who JFK is, right? Must mean we're gonna find him.

  Rufus Carlin : Come again?

  Connor Mason : What a fascinating loop. Jiya is suggesting that because we still know JFK becomes president in '61, very fact that we're still aware of him, really, proves that he eventually makes it back to where he's supposed to be.

  Rufus Carlin : Yeah, for now, until he gets hit by a car or shot by Rittenhouse, then history changes in an instant and we don't even know it.

  Connor Mason : Yeah, that's true, too.

• Jiya : Okay, what about my visions?

  Rufus Carlin : What about your visions?

  Jiya : I had a vision about a man dying and he died. You tried to stop it, but history doesn't change as easily as you want it to.

  Rufus Carlin : Okay, that's more like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

  Jiya : Or maybe it's just a prophecy.

  Connor Mason : Sorry, what are we talking about?

  Jiya : Never mind. Forget it.

• Wyatt Logan : Rufus, what do you mean you lost 'em?

  Rufus Carlin : There aren't cameras on every street. They drove out of range.

  Wyatt Logan : Well, what direction were they heading?

  Rufus Carlin : South on Willow.

  Wyatt Logan : All right. What's in the area?

  Jiya : There's a Chinese restaurant, Starbucks, Bailey's Bar and Grill, a hospital, a park...

  Jessica : I don't know much about JFK, but a bar sounds right up his alley.

  Lucy Preston : No, no, no, I bet he's going to the hospital.

  Wyatt Logan : What makes you say that?

  Lucy Preston : Well, John suffered from health issues his entire life. Spent most of his childhood in and out of hospitals. I mean, Bobby even joked that if someone ever were to write a book about his brother, it would be titled "John F. Kennedy: A Medical History".

  Wyatt Logan : Doesn't mean he's sick now.

  Lucy Preston : Stress probably makes his conditions worse. And I'm imagining he's probably pretty stressed right now.

  Wyatt Logan : If we're wrong...

  Jessica : Hey, I'd go with the historian on this one. I mean, she's kept you alive this long, right?

  Wyatt Logan : Hospital it is.

• Rufus Carlin : So, what do we know about JFK? Uh, does he serve a second term? Does he have, like, ten more kids?

  Denise Christopher : What second term? JFK was assassinated two years into office.

  Rufus Carlin : That's not right. I-I told him. I told him not to go to Dallas.

  Denise Christopher : Dallas? It happened in Austin.

  Jiya : [his face falls as Christopher leaves]  Guess it was just meant to be.
